I read the thread title and thought the OP was on crack, but seems he's not!

Damn, that'd scare the bajeezus outta me!

Wow, what a coverage. So strange how it can hit one suburb, and miss the one right next to it.

[DJM83]

Herald Sun website notes that the police have been "flooded with calls". WTF??? Geez, there's no shortage of simpletons around. What the hell are the police going to do?

[Geez Louise]

Radio just said 4.6?? More details will come out soon no doubt.

[Spanrz]

I remember the one back in around '82-'83, that was a 3.3

This quake was about that, maybe a tad stronger.

Edit : The US earthquake site hasn't listed the event yet.

Edit x 2 : They just did update it.

Nothing down here, I'm in the Macedon Ranges area, but my mate in Box Hill said his whole house shook, everyone is talking about their couches moving, it reminds me of those heart shaped beds in brothels that you put a coin into and it vibrates.

[rodderz]
